Well, it’s good to be back. I haven’t had a piece for you guys over the past couple weeks because of the Reconstruction announcement, Burnie’s GIS contest, and I was in Redmond & Seattle last week for the 2008 Microsoft MVP Summit, which was a lot…

The GunStop Way
Smooth Few Films hasn’t created a lot of Halo machinima – but everything they’ve put out has been of outstanding quality (check our news for details), and they’re back with a new piece that rocks. The GunStop Way takes aim at sleazy videogame sales tactics, using sharp humor, polished effects, and good acting. Don’t miss…

Working for Bungie – Remotely
CGSociety has a short profile on Dana Boadway, a freelance animator who did some cinematics work on Halo 3. I guess I’d always thought the in-game cinematics were scripted, in-engine…apparently not (or not entirely). Interesting stuff!(Louis Wu 14:12:25 UTC)

When it stops being fun, you’re missing the point.
Over at GlitchBlog.com, you’ll find an interview with High Impact Halo’s Grand Poobah, Ducain. He talks about how he got into the whole ‘running a trick site’ thing, and what warms his cockles. Go read!(Louis Wu 14:07:28 UTC)

Halo 3 Cleans Up in Advertising Awards
Wow, weird. Looks like there were two totally separate advertising award ceremonies this week – and Halo 3 cleaned up at both. Last night, the Art Directors Club held their 87th Annual Awards Gala, and Halo 3 picked up 5 Gold Cubes (for ‘Broadcast/Product Service Promotion/Art Direction’, ‘Broadcast/Online Commercial Webisode’, ‘Broadcast/Online Commercial Webisode’, ‘Integrated Advertising’,…

Happy Birthday, Marty!
Yesterday, Bungie.net put up a tribute to Marty O’Donnell, who’s celebrating his <insert really big number here> birthday – there are some fun photoshopped pics in honor of the event. (I have to say, that Herb Alpert album cover is gonna give me nightmares.)(Louis Wu 13:54:55 UTC)

Jason will tell you today’s comic never happened. He’ll also probably tell you he’s “disease free.” But dear viewer, can you afford to take that chance? I didn’t think so. dggeoff
